  • Patent number: 10550734
    Abstract: A camshaft phaser for the adjusting valve timing of a combustion engine includes a stator and a rotor that can rotate relative to the stator. The rotor is connected to one end of the camshaft via an adapter as well as via a sprocket which is fixedly mounted to the stator. The sprocket is slideably mounted about the camshaft with a first guiding section and is slideably mounted about the adapter with a second guiding section.

  • Patent number: 10174644
    Abstract: A hydraulic camshaft adjuster (1) with a stator (2) in which a rotor (3) is rotatably arranged. A vane (4) which protrudes radially outwards is provided on the rotor (3), the vane being provided with a pressure chamber delimiting side (7). A pressure chamber supply groove (10) is arranged so as to extend on a separation plane which separates the rotor (3) into two halves in order to supply a hydraulic medium to a pressure chamber formed by the rotor (3) and the stator (2), the pressure chamber supply groove (10) having an outlet (11) in the pressure chamber delimiting side (7) of the vane (4).

  • Patent number: 10132211
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor for a camshaft adjuster for rotation about a rotation axis. The rotor has an inner sheath and an outer sheath and at least one control vane, pointing at least substantially radially away from the rotation axis, having a first control vane side and a second control vane side. The rotor furthermore has a first liquid channel system and a second liquid channel system, wherein the first liquid channel system opens in a first liquid channel opening and the second liquid channel system opens in a second liquid channel opening. The rotor comprises: a first sintered joining part, a second sintered joining part which is joined to the first sintered joining part and an insert part which is inserted in an intermediate chamber which is formed by at least one of a first recess of the first sintered joining part and a second recess of the second sintered joining part. The invention further relates to a parts set and to a method for producing a joined component.

  • Patent number: 9840945
    Abstract: A multi-part rotor (1) for a hydraulic camshaft adjuster, including two partial rotor members (2) which rest against each other along a separation plane (3) extending perpendicular to the axial direction and which jointly define hydraulic medium ducts (4) extending within said separation plane (3) and, including an additional rotor member (5) that conducts hydraulic medium from opposite axial directions in a targeted manner to different hydraulic medium ducts (4). The additional rotor member (5) or at least one positively engaging anti-twist element (6) is secured to one or both partial rotor members (2) for conjoint rotation therewith.
